A/N: Hey guys! So here's the next chapter and I hope y'all had a great holiday! Oh, and I was watching GOTG with my friends and I was like, "No seriously. Imagine Peter and the others trying to handle Gamora while she's on her period and that is the time that Nova Prime decides to send them on a mission so she doesn't kill Peter or her team mates." Just out of curiosity, if I did write a fanfiction about that...raise your hands or say 'aye' if you would read it.

Two hours later, Maria, Emily, and the Guardians sat in the sitting room of the Milano going over the plan.

"Rocket and Groot along with Emily will cause a distraction. Drax and Maria will stay behind to monitor everything, and only will they leave if we're getting our asses kicked. Other than that, they will open the airlock and let me and Gamora in when we return with Lilith. Do you guys understand?" Peter asked, earning nods of approval.

"But Nebula will just come back to earth looking for the stone." Maria said, crossing her arms and sighing.

"Our priority right now isn't to worry about the stone. It's to get Lilith out of harms way." Gamora said, letting out a shaky breath. If anything happened to that child, she would never forgive herself. She felt a strong attachment to the girl, and something was special about Lilith that Gamora couldn't put her finger on, but she knew she was special.

"I want all of you to be honest with me here. Does anyone have a problem with this plan?" Peter asked, looking at his team.

Everyone shook their heads.

"But there's another problem. They will be expecting us and will have hundreds of their men and there's only seven of us." Emily said, sounding as though she doubted the plan.

"I can get Yondu and some other Ravagers to help out like last time, and_" He started, only to be cut off by the communicator on the table blinking, "Speak of the devil." He added, answering the call.

"Peter, boy, where the hell are ya!"

"Oh wouldn't you like to know! We're on our way to retrieve a child that's been kidnapped by a homicidal maniac."

"Boy, do you have a death wish or somethin'?"

"That's debatable." Rocket said, shrugging.

"Well, being a hero isn't the safest job out there." Peter said, staring down Yondu as he attempted to keep Maria and Emily hidden from his sights.

"You said somethin' about a child. What did this child look like?"

"Oh, like your average Terran child. Blonde hair, pale blue eyes, fair skin, last seen in a white t-shirt with blue jeans ripped at the knees...female."

"With an attitude problem?"

"She doesn't have an attitude problem!" Maria and Emily snapped from behind Peter, getting defensive. Peter mentally face palmed, wondering why the women couldn't just let that comment slide.

"Step aside, boy! Who ya hidin'?" Yondu asked, making Peter sigh and do as he was told, revealing the two sisters.

"So, you have not one, not two, but three women that are out of your league on your ship?"

The half-terran sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Yondu, what were you saying about Lilith?"

"Lilith? Is that her name? Pretty name for a pretty little girl. Why couldn't you have been a girl, Peter? Much easier to raise!" Yondu asked, earning some stifled laughs from Peter's friends.

"Right. Can you meet us on Xandar at the Nova Corps headquarters? That's where we're heading to meet with Nova." Peter asked, clasping his hands in front of him.

"Alright, boy. See ya soon."

Yondu was the last to arrive at the Nova Corps headquarters and stood beside Peter.

"Boy, I'm surprised I wasn't arrested."

"Because we told them you were coming, stupid!" Emily snapped, glaring at the Ravager with her arms crossed. Yondu turned to where she and Maria stood.

"What's your name, girl?" He asked, circling them as he gave them a good look over.

"We will not share that information." Maria said, moving to protectively stand in front of her sister.

"Ya know, sweetheart, if we gonna work together, ya need to trust a little."

"Well do you trust us? Two Terrans who are, as you said, 'out of Peter's league.'?" She asked, crossing her arms as Nova Prime and Denarian Dey entered, making everyone turn to face her.

"You must be Maria. I'm Nova Prime Rael and this is Denarian Dey. We have heard a lot of wonderful things about you." She said, shaking Maria's hand.

"Pleasure to meet you, Nova Prime. This is my sister, Emily." Maria said, allowing for Nova to turn and shake Emily's hand.

"Oh yeah, thanks for telling us that the Skrelton necklace is a friggin' infinity stone!" Rocket snapped.

Nova Prime was taken aback at the Raccoons statement.

"What?"

"I am Groot."

"The Skrelton. It is another infinity stone. A green one." Drax said, seeing Nova put her hand over her mouth in shock.

"Good God," She said, sighing before she looked at Denarian, who was just as shocked as she was, "It's the Soul Gem. That's another name for it. It allows whoever possesses it to steal, manipulate, and alter souls, living or dead, and it's a gate way to an idyllic pocket universe much like Heaven. It can also steal the powers and abilities of others. It's the most dangerous and corrupt of the infinity stones." She explained, letting out a shaky breath.

"Don't worry, Nova. We'll bring it back as soon as all of this is over."

"You have a plan." She stated, looking at the former outlaw inquisitively.

"Yes. And it's 80% of one this time!"

"Yondu, they say you last saw Nebula. Where was she?" Nova asked, still facing Peter.

"I saw her with a little girl collecting supplies on Halfworld, then they left. I lost sight of 'em. And the child? She has a very colorful vocabulary. Said words to Nebula that I ain't gonna repeat."

"Yeah, Lilith can be a sassy little bitch sometimes. She gets it from her mom!" Emily said, "Although, i'm starting to think we need to watch our language around her."

Nova sighed and continued to fill them in before she adjourned the meeting.

"Good luck to all of you." She said, turning and leaving with Dey following behind her.

The plan was a go.
